Good Wikipedia link which shows that we have one of the highest number of public sector employees as a percentage of the total workforce, and since the figure is from 2009, this percentage is certainly higher now.
Can you believe that one of these "donkeys" calls this "austerity"???
The only thing broken is tax collection and adding more taxes is not going to fix it.
Why are all these new tax articles coming out now? This looks like a coordinated effort by a handful of individuals to shove down the throat of Bahamians even more taxes.
BTW income tax would not be be "progressive taxation”, it would be a "tax on the middle class" as the poor would be exempt and the rich would find ways to avoid it.
Can the middle class of this country survive with a 30% deduction of their income?
If Rupert Pinder can live comfortably with 30% reduction of his income, he should show the example and send a cheque to the Treasury on an annual basis along with other persons who support this tax.
There should be no discussion of new taxes until all due taxes have been collected.
Then we can study how VAT which was sold to us "to pay down the debt" had the exact opposite effect, with exploding budget deficits and record new debt, so that we are now near bankruptcy.
Well this would be a good solution to combat air pollution and traffic jams in the Bahamas. I am sure that Andrew Allen would agree, because only the rich would be paying this tax. But before this takes place an efficient public transport must be put in place, which won't be easy.
